Powerful diagnosis - By combining real-time network monitoring and data recording with several integrated analysis and diagnostic tools, Capsa presents enterprise administrators with a powerful tool for determining the cause of network bandwidth issues and bottlenecks. Often the primary challenge when combating network slowdowns is tracing the source of bad packets or abnormal traffic generation. The software includes a Diagnosis console that lists events separated by OSI layers and enables sorting by severity, source address or event type to help speed recovery. A special Matrix view is available, too, that depicts connections at-a-glance, further enhancing diagnosis.

What's wrong?

Limited OS Support - Many enterprise administrators use Linux or Macintosh operating systems. Colasoft's Capsa network analysis software, however, only works with Windows operating systems. Chances are some enterprise engineers would benefit from support for the packet sniffer on their mobile phones, too, but that may be asking too much.
